We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear…

This note is a survey on the topology of hyperplane arrangements. We mainly focus on the relationship between topology and the real structure, such as adjacent relations of chambers and stratifications related to real structures.

Geometric relational embeddings map relational data as geometric objects that combine vector information suitable for machine learning and structured/relational information for structured/relational reasoning, typically in low dimensions.…

This is a survey of motivations, constructions and applications of higher prequantum geometry. In section 1 we highlight the open problem of prequantizing local field theory in a local and gauge invariant way, and we survey how a solution…

After a somewhat rocky start, geometry and topology have established a foothold in machine learning. Message passing, either on graphs or higher-order complexes, is one of the main drivers of geometric deep learning, and paradigms that were…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a super tangent bundle of a manifold, and extend the basic notions of differential geometry such as differential forms, exterior derivation, connection, metric and divergence on manifolds that…

The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.

The concept of generalised (in the sense of Colombeau) connection on a principal fibre bundle is introduced. This definition is then used to extend results concerning the geometry of principal fibre bundles to those that only have a…

This paper presents the theory of holomorphic vector valued modular forms from a geometric perspective. More precisely, we define certain holomorphic vector bundles on the modular orbifold of generalized elliptic curves whose sections are…

In this study, we define interaction components of different orders between two input variables based on game theory. We further prove that interaction components of different orders satisfy several desirable properties.

In this note we give a generalization for the higher order Hochschild cohomology and show that the secondary Hochschild cohomology is a particular case of this new construction.

We propose a method for obtaining parsimonious decompositions of networks into higher order interactions which can take the form of arbitrary motifs.The method is based on a class of analytically solvable generative models, where vertices…

We write down a series of basic laws for (strict) higher-order circuit diagrams. More precisely, we define higher-order circuit theories in terms of: (a) nesting, (b) temporal and spatial composition, and (c) equivalence between lower-order…

This paper introduces a homology theory for links in I-bundles over an orientable surface. The theory is unique in that the elements of the chain groups are surfaces instead of diagrams. It is then shown this theory yields the same results…

We develop the theory of d-holomorphic connections on d-holomorphic vector bundles over a Klein surface by constructing the analogous Atiyah exact sequence for d-holomorphic bundles. We also give a criterion for the existence of…

We consider generalized gradients in the general context of $G$-structures. They are natural first order differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles associated to irreducible $G$-representations. We study their geometric…

Higher order set theory has been a topic of interest for some time, with recent efforts focused on the strength of second order set theories [KW16]. In this paper we strive to present one 'theory of collections' that allows for a formal…

We study geometric aspects of horizontal 2-plane distributions on the complement of the zero section in the 5-dimensional total space of a rank-3 vector bundle equipped with connection over a surface. We show that any surface in…

In this paper, we aim to provide a notion of "relative objects", i.e. objects equipped with some sort of subobjects, in differential topology. In spite of active researches relating them, e.g. knot theory or the theory of manifolds with…
